I'm trying to display images from this folder

uploads/images/mypicfolder

to do that I'm using this snippet, which I got from https://cmscanbesimple.org/blog/list-images :

$url = isset($params['/uploads/images/ ']) ? $params['/uploads/images/ '] : '';
$dir = cmsms()->config['root_path'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $url;

echo "<ul>\n";
if (is_dir($dir))
{
  if ($dh = opendir($dir))
  {
    while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false)
    {
      if ( ('file' == filetype($dir . $file)) && (substr($file,0,6) != 'thumb_') )
      {
        echo '<li><a href="'.$url.$file.'" class="fancybox"><img src="'.$url.'thumb_'.$file.'" alt="'.$file.'" /></a>'."</li>\n";      
      }
    }
    closedir($dh);
  }
}
echo "</ul>\n";

I have a custom field for the name of the folder since the user should be able to add different names of folders for each article. (im using the News module)

The custom field is called picfolder.

So in my news detail template I have this tag

{list_images url='{$entry->picfolder}'}

The problem is that I always get a list of some files on the root. but not the image files I want to display.

what am I doing wrong here?

$params['/uploads/images/ '] is not a correct modification of the original code

I'm aware of that, I've tried all kinds of paths but with out any luck.
Could you please guide me on what would be the correct modification to access the image folder?

Try this:

Code: Select all

$url = isset($params['url']) ? $params['url'] : '';
$dir = cms_join_path(cmsms()->config['image_uploads_path'], $url);

echo "<ul>\n";
if (is_dir($dir))
{
  if ($dh = opendir($dir))
  {
    while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false)
    {
      if ( ('file' == filetype($dir . $file)) && (substr($file,0,6) != 'thumb_') )
      {
        echo '<li><a href="'.$url.$file.'" class="fancybox"><img src="'.$url.'thumb_'.$file.'" alt="'.$file.'" /></a>'."</li>\n";      
      }
    }
    closedir($dh);
  }
}
echo "</ul>\n";

And use tag: {list_images url=$entry->picfolder}

Thanks Jos for your help
This works but I ended up using another solution which gives the same result.
